In the Face of the Covid 19 Pandemic
W
hile everyone is concerned about the Covid 19 virus and its effects, a local community centered non-profit in Tzununa has taken positive steps to help their community and a hospital. Wellkind Guatemala supports and empowers local leaders of Tzununa, Lake AtitlĂĄn. This year the group helped to establish 40 family gardens, plant over 1,500 native trees, remodled over a dozen houses, and built a local market for greater access to fresh and local produce. Planting native trees and establishing family gardens are strategic areas of focus that yield many beneficial results. Trees provide 18

sustainable firewood yields and also prevent erosion in the high-risk areas of Lake AtitlĂĄn. This, in turn, protects and regenerates the health of the lake and its surrounding ecosystem. Using native trees also encourages the return of at-risk populations of birds and other fauna. Gardens, as well, recycle food scraps, yield nutritious produce, and reduce travel to other towns. Family gardens are often the key to bringing the missing nutrients and vitamins into the local diet. The gardens have proven to be a big success within the community. We tend to focus on a mix of common vegetables as well as local native favorites. Beets, onions, peppers, and chard grow alongside chipilĂn,
hierba mora, miltomate, and güisquiles. Some of the gardens have expanded and the women have begun selling produce as well as for home consumption. In the face of the recent Covid 19 crisis, Wellkind Guatemala was instrumental in distributing emergency food supplies to over 120 families in the town of Tzununa. It also supported a team of local women artisans to produce over 1,300 hundred masks for distribution to the elderly population, also merchants and drivers, and to the nearby Hospitalito Atitlán. The women are now producing masks for sale in the community and earning a fair-trade wage for their efforts. Tzununa is located on the northern shore of Lake Atitlán. Aside from struggling with deforestation and ecological degradation,
Tzununa is also one of the most at-risk communities on the lake in terms of food and housing security. As in most of the Department of Sololá malnutrition and access to healthy food is a major challenge for people in their communities. The need for access to affordable healthy food, as well as the community’s desire to protect and enrich the local ecosystem, led Wellkind to focus on family gardens, reforestation, and local economic development. According to Director, Shad Qudsi, “Our plan involves coordinating between the local organizations including the municipality, the cocodes, the local elders, and the emerging neighborhood leaders to align goals and support the execution of sustainable local initiatives.”

Boquitas
Guatemalan Tapas “...Mini-replicas of Guatemalan popular and traditional foods like chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers)...”
O
n a recent trip throughout northern Spain, I had the pleasure of tasting the most amazing food, including tapas and pintxos. Popular throughout Spain, tapas in general are snacks or bread served on small plates with a variety of toppings. The origin of tapas is unclear. Pintxos, born in the Basque country, are the cousins of tapas served specifically in that region. The main difference is that pintxos — from the Euskara language meaning pinchos in Spanish and skewers in English — are small portions of food held with small skewers. Tapas and pintxos bars are a social way of life in Spain where small groups usually gather to eat casually standing at a bar and around hightops. The term “tapear” refers to a tapas-eating and bartouring experience allowing visitors to sample a variety of treats in different bars in one evening. In Guatemala, bars and restaurants always accompany cocktails, wine and beer with boquitas (literary meaning little mouths), the tapa equivalent. Because of the fusion of cultures during colonial times, it is likely that this
custom came to Guatemala with the Spaniards. However, just as Spanish foods were adapted to local tastes in other Latin countries, tapas became boquitas and a custom closely linked to Guatemalan culture. Boquitas vary depending on setting and occasion. At social events at home and prior to a meal, people often serve easy and light boquitas, such as poporopo (popcorn), papalinas or plataninas (artisan or commercial potato or green plantain chips), manías (Spanish peanuts), chicharrones (spicy barbecue pork cracklings) and other ready-toeat snacks along with alcoholic drinks. At bars and restaurants, boquitas can be more elaborate and are often mini-versions of mercado (market) fast foods, casual or street fare, such as mini-tostadas (crunchy tortillas with a variety of toppings), caldo or soup (small cups of broth or soup), ceviche (seafood and vegetables marinated in citrus juice) and more. Boquitas are also a booming business in Guatemala. Hotels, restaurants and caterers tailor boquitas to the taste and budget of customers ranging from simple and casual to more 65
elaborate and fancy. As opposed to the U.S. norm, boquitas rarely constitute the only food at a party or gathering and usually precede the main meal. During a reception, people drink and eat a variety of boquitas from light to heavy, sweet and savory. Many “bares de mala muerte” (hole in the wall bars) in Guatemala City that have been around forever share a special boquita culture and are famous for their specialty. For my wedding celebration in Guatemala City some time ago, I hired a neighborhood boquita catering business that delivered the prettiest, most delicious and sweetest bites presented in basket trays lined with banana leaves. They were a hit! These were mini-replicas of Guatemalan popular and traditional foods like chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers), chuchitos (tamales in corn husks), rellenitos (ripe plantain dumplings), huevos con salsita (quail eggs in homestyle tomato sauce) and others. For your next gathering, I encourage you to explore Guatemalan boquitas. It will be a fun experience for you and your guests. To get you started, below I share a couple of easy yet scrumptious delights that are as pleasing to the eye as the tongue. To create a boquitas menu of your own, observe street food vendors and visit local mercados to see what foods they offer. Ask questions, make a list of easiest ones, and use your imagination to bring your boquitas to life. Stock your bar with Guatemalan beer, such as Gallo, Monte Carlo and Dorada, in addition to award-winning rum Zacapa Centenario, and let the party begin!
TOSTADAS GUATEMALTECAS Crispy Corn Tortillas Topped with Guacamole, Beans and Salsa Tostadas are one of my family’s favorite dinners at home, especially when we have very little time to prepare a full meal. Tostadas are not only fun to prepare, but also delicious to eat. They can make dinnertime fun for kids. Set up a tostada bar and have the kids form a line and assemble their own tostadas. To make the tostadas more substantial, add store-bought rotisserie chicken, carne asada, roasted pork, or any other protein to the traditional ingredients listed in this recipe. In Guatemala, tostadas are sold on the street at sidewalk shacks, festivals, fairs, church atriums, plazas and parks. This is my healthy version, which uses baked tostadas instead of the traditional fried ones. To make boquita-size tostadas, buy either small tortillas at the market, or cut mini-tortillas according to size from larger ones using a plastic cup or round cookie cutter. Serves 4 to 6 people 12 to 16 corn tortillas 1 batch salsita de tomate ciruela (quick plum tomato sauce, recipe below) 1 batch guacamol para tostadas (Guatemalan guacamole, recipe below) Adorno (Garnish)
¡Salúd! (Cheers!)
66
1 cup thinly julienned red or yellow onion 1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley Guatemalan quesoseco (or cotija cheese), crumbled
Bake the tortillas in a toaster oven at 350°F until they are crispy (5 to 7 minutes). Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn easily. Weigh them down with a small wire cooling rack to keep them from curling up. Once the tortillas are crispy, tostadas keep for days. Prepare all the remaining ingredients. Set up all the ingredients in salad bar fashion. Or set up all the ingredients at the table. Invite diners to assemble their own tostadas. For boquitas, make them on the spot. If you make them too long before they are eaten, they will be soggy. Assembly suggestion: Spread salsa, guacamole or beans (if using) on a tostada. Add garnishes in the order listed. Top the tostada with your protein of choice, if you like.
SALSITA DE TOMATE CIRUELA Quick Plum Tomato Sauce This delicious sauce is a staple in many Guatemalan homes, and its uses are endless. You can use it for tostadas, crispy rolled tacos, or fried or hard-boiled eggs. Build the sauce further by adding other ingredients, such as celery, herbs, spices and chile peppers. Panfry the sauce in 1/2 tablespoon of canola oil for a twist in flavor. 67
Makes a little over 1 cup 1 cup roughly chopped Roma tomatoes 2 tablespoons chopped onion 2 garlic cloves 1/8 teaspoon thyme 1/8 teaspoon crumbled oregano 1/2 bay leaf 1/4 cup water SazĂłn (Seasonings) 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Cook the first 7 ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a quick boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes. PurĂŠe all ingredients and season them with vinegar and salt. Return to the saucepan and heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Use the sauce immediately or save it in a jar for later. It lasts in the refrigerator for 1 week.
GUACAMOL PARA TOSTADAS Guatemalan Guacamole for Tostadas Guacamol is what Guatemalans call the delicious simple avocado mash known in the United States as guacamole. The secret for a perfect guacamol is in the quality of the avocados. Guatemalan avocados are thicker-skinned, rounder and darker than 68
California avocados. The texture of a Guatemalan avocado is milky and buttery. Guatemalans often add them in chunks to soups and salads. This basic avocado purée has multiple uses in the Guatemalan kitchen as a side dish and even as a sauce. To make a sauce, add herbs, chile peppers, water and a little olive oil. This recipe for tostadas is simple because the toppings add a lot of flavor. To convert this recipe to a side dish for churrasco (barbecue), add ½ tablespoon of shred-
ded onion and ½ teaspoon of crumbled oregano to the mixture. Makes about 1 3/4 cups 3 ripe avocados, mashed to a chunky texture 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them well. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed.
